THE_WORDSMITH

In this world, some say, the truth and the legends are the same. One such legend belonged to the protagonist, Valerian.

Valerian was an orphan, a boy blessed with a beautiful face, and everyone around him, could not help but want to play with him, till one day a prophet passing through their town pronounced him to be cursed. 

Since that day, the destiny of the boy seemed to have changed completely, he was shunned by everyone around him, and the gazes that were earlier filled with love and affection, now brimmed with disgust and hatred. 

The constant shunning and humiliation made the cheerful child grow up to be bitter and inexpectant. On his seventh birthday, things changed once again. 

This time, it was not the people around him who went through a change, but himself. As he grew up, Valerian became a legend in his own sense. 

The people sang of a boy, who could not speak, they shed tears for a boy, who could not grieve. He came from nowhere yet he was known everywhere. 

Would you like to know this legend? A story where a curse can become a blessing? A story of sacrifice, betrayal, determination, and secrets.

Valerian, The Legendary

Amile and Valerian came to the auction house with beast pelts and parts to sell. The city had two big auction houses, and while Ryker and Quies dealt with one of them, the two choose this one, called the Lily Auction house. The people around the city told them that this was a newly open auction house and not very popular, but the two still came in for a special reason.

This auction house was two floors high and looked similar to a typical shop with no extravagance whatsoever. There was an old man standing guard at the door, although he looked lax, his sharp eyes were enough to tell anyone that this old man was a dagger waiting to strike. Valerian and Amile climbed the steps and came to the door.

The old man nodded to them and slightly pushed open the door. The two entered the place quickly, and Valerian came to the counter the girl behind the table asked him, "Hello Sir, welcome to the Lily auction house. How may I be of service?"

Discovered.
